The RV run out of water last night so was a bit of a headache to brush the teeth with bottled water and not being able to flush the toilet. Good that Walmart is open 24hrs so did make some use of their bathrooms. Soon we will show up on those "People at Walmart" emails wrapped in a robe or shopping in a nightie or pj.
Called Linda this morning to ask if she could give us the lock combo to the house so we could check it out a bit more. Wanted to take some pictures too. Also told her that we would go on further north east, the area we hadn't checked out but we had found a lot of homes on the Internet. We would look around some more and if we wouldn't find anything else return after the weekend to write an offer. We had still about 12 really good properties to look at and at this point we couldn't make up our mind which house to buy... the girl scout camp house or the river front house or this last country home. They all had something really unique about them but also something which could be better.
So went out to the property again and just admired the lake and the whole land. Took some pictures and then went back to our RV to hitch up the car and take off.
We followed Hwy 23 (just for Alan so you can follow our journey) north up to Columbus then west on the I-70 and then north again on the I-77. Once we changed onto the I-77 it was like driving through Switzerland. Hills and farms and cows. A lot of Amish farms. Little towns with names like "Schoenbrunn" and "Gnadenhuette"! This is were i want to live. I found this nice RV park on the net, year round open and ahh... what a luxury, with cable TV, WiFi, indoor pool, showers with heated floors and a laundromat. Outside the registration office was a Amish buggy parked and we glimpse 2 Amish women using the washers and driers. Silly, they don't have electric in their houses and then go to the laundromat. Maybe they tell their husbands when they come home, how hard the worked to wash the laundry but secretly snack away to use the laundromat. Anyhow, Walmart just faded away and we were back in civilication with the water and electric and cable all hooked up. Driving up to the RV park we passed a couple dozends of Amish buggies, passed by a sign prommissing great food in Swiss Village (a town) and another turn off was the way to the original baby brie location. We will have to check it all out.
Got to go off and watch a movie. Am on TV withdrawl!
